Filed:

Aug 31, 2004

Appl. No.:

10/931100

Inventors:

Kenton Coleman Green - San Jose CA, US
William Michael Monson - Rochester MN, US
Michael Desmond O'Connell - Rochester MN, US

Assignee:

International Business Machines Corporation - Armonk NY

International Classification:

H05K 5/00

US Classification:

361727, 361685, 3122232

Abstract:

An apparatus, system, and method are disclosed for reducing rotational vibration transmission within a data storage system. A storage device apparatus comprises a carrier having opposing first and second side plates. A support point may be disposed within the first side plate at about a longitudinal center region of the carrier. The support point is configured to contact an enclosure that mounts a plurality of carriers and is the sole support point in the first side plate. Preferably, the support point is positioned such that minimal rotational vibration is transmitted within the data storage system once the carrier is placed in an enclosure housing a plurality of carriers. A second support point may be disposed in the second side plate.

US Patent:

20080089799, Apr 17, 2008

Filed:

Feb 2, 2007

Appl. No.:

11/702019

Inventors:

Michael O'Connell - San Jose CA, US

International Classification:

F04B 19/00

US Classification:

417486

Abstract:

A device for handling a fluid to be introduced into a fluidic device is described. The fluid handling device is designed for alignment with a fluidic device, such as a microfluidic device, where an exit port on the device aligns with one or more apertures in the fluidic for exchange of fluids there between. The fluid handling device includes one or more channels, with at least two pistons spaced apart contained in one or more of the channels. The gap between neighboring pistons define a space between the pistons for containing a fluid. Movement of the pistons from a first position to a second position is effective to move fluid from the fluid handling device into the fluidic device.

US Classification:

428131, 427 58, 427122, 977750, 977752, 977734

Abstract:

A nanostructure film, comprising at least one interconnected network of nanostructures, wherein the nanostructure film is optically transparent and electrically conductive. A method for improving the optoelectronic properties of a nanostructure film, comprising: forming a nanostructure film having a thickness that, if uniform, would result in a first optical transparency and a first sheet resistance that are lower than desired; and patterning holes in the nanostructure film, such that a desired higher second optical transparency and a second sheet resistance are achieved. A method for depositing a nanostructure film on a rigid substrate comprises: depositing the nanostructure film on a flexible substrate; and transferring the nanostructure film from the flexible substrate to a rigid substrate, wherein the flexible substrate comprises at least one of a release liner and a heat- or chemical-sensitive adhesive layer.
